Sorry I missed yesterday. I worked long at the cinema and skipped out on both the weigh-in and exercise.
But today is a special day!
I participated is Steppin' Out in Pink where I walked 5 miles in 1 hour and 50 minutes. That's 1095 calories burned. Woot!
I feel fantastic!!
I will write more later when I am not as busy.
Bye for now,

Day 29
Good afternoon!! I'm in a wonderful mood right now. I just finished 30 mins of biking and even though my legs feel like spaghetti, I FEEL FANTASTIC!!!
I found this website that will help me keep track of calories burned. I feel that that is a good thing to know.
So at my weight this morning (311.5) and for 30 minutes, I burned 523 calories. Plus I was also working with some hand weights my sister has, so that's an additional 224. For a grand total of 747.
Again, I feel FANTASTIC!!
(Complete side note, but this website also tells me that if I spent a half hour having sex - moderate effort, of course - I would have burned 112 calories. Something tells me that that number should be higher.)
I have to tell you what I did. So, as I reported yesterday, my bike is a little worse for wear, but what do you expect for FREE!!! The seat is the biggest problem, so I tried something. I took the seat completely off and pushed the bike as close to my bed as possible. So I'm laying on my bed while my feet as spinning the pedals. That's why I went and grabbed Linnea's weights. I needed something to do with my hands. I know it's probably not the best set-up, but it's workings for me. Just add some music and set the timer for 30 minutes. It was wonderful.
I might go again later. I really don't have anything else going on today.
Well, that's about it for me.

Day 30
I'm counting down, remember. One month begins today.
I weighed-in this morning at 311.5 lbs.
I planned to spend 30 minutes on my bike, but it was more like 15 because I needed to adjust the seat. Then I ran up and down 2 flights of stairs because I was trying to get the seat off my broken bike which was in storage. I wasn't able to, as all the bolts are rusted to crap, so I have a wonderful bike that I can't sit on comfortably. The seat pivots and sometimes I feel like I'm gonna fall off.
But I'm gonna keep on going because I have to.
I worked a so-called double today, so that's gonna work for me. It's so-called because the open shift is more like half a shift.
Tomorrow I'm going for a full 30 minutes. That is my goal. 30 minutes a day for 30 days. And don't worry about the missing 15 minutes today, as I count the stair climbing. And on Saturday I'm "Stepping Out in the Pink" or something like that. I'm walking for breast cancer research. 5 miles! WOOT!!
So... that's about it for today. I'm very excited about this new start. I've got a goal and I've got means, so I'm very set to do this.
Plus, I've been taken a wonderful mix of vitamins that have been helping me in the mood department. Iron, fish oil, and super B complex. It's mainly the B that's lightening my mood, those the iron helps replenish what is lost in the menses. Yes, I'm still going and IT SUCKS!!!
That's it for me today. I'm gonna put my feet up. They hurt quite badly.

Lost my track
So I've lost my way, but I've refocused and will be starting again.
I am going to restart the countdown, too. I'm thinking doing an actual countdown. Start with a small goal and go from there.
I'm also excited to announce that I am the proud owner of an exercise bike and I am totally gonna use it everyday.
Okay, so my short term goal is 10 lbs in a month. That's both reasonable and healthy. (1-2 lbs a week is the goal the doctors have been telling me all my life)
And my long-term is 150 lbs by next year.
So that's that, and I'll be starting this tomorrow for two reasons. 1) I have an appointment to get to soon and then I have to work. 2) 9-9-09 has a real nice ring to it.
I do have a third reason. My bike is still in my car and I have to re-arrange my room so I have a place to put it. Both of which will be done after work tonight.
So I will talk to you again tomorrow.
Laters!
